Chapter 177 - 177: I Don’t Think That’s Required?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this time, the Old Madam had already talked passionately about the development history of the Lin Group for a long time. When she talked about the difficulties, she would even choke. Fortunately, Ye Weiyin was there to whisper words of encouragement to the Old Madam, so the Old Madam could control her emotions as if she had received great comfort.
In fact, Lin Wanli knew this trick. Without these magnificent foreshadowing, how could anyone admire a female hero like the Old Madam? By flaunting the legendary things she has done, was it not worth mentioning that an ‘outstanding person’ made mistakes in her love life?
As expected, Old Madam Lin soon turned her gaze to the Ye family’s mother and daughter, her eyes filled with guilt and pain.
“In my life, these two children are the ones I’ve let down the most. I didn’t protect them well and let them wander outside. After I found them, I didn’t admit their identity immediately because of my weakness. I let them endure the rumors for many years. I’m guilty.”
Ye Weiyin had tears in her eyes. She didn’t seem to blame her and shook her head magnanimously.
“It’s better to be lively today. I also want to officially let them acknowledge their ancestors. They are the daughters of my Lin family. From now on, I only want to keep them by my side and share the happiness of family. I hope that everyone can be a witness to this moment. I also hope that everyone can be more tolerant of them in the future on my account. I thank everyone here.”
“Grandma…” Ye Zhenzhen sobbed as she threw herself into the Old Madam’s arms.
Ye Weiyin also hugged her while sobbing.
“Alright, alright. We’re all home now. Why are you still crying? With so many guests here, aren’t you afraid of humiliating yourselves?”
What a heartwarming scene of the three generations together.
What a touching reunion of the three generations.
However, the most fragmented part of the entire scene was that Lin Xueyi, who was also a daughter of the Lin family, was like an outsider. She was still chatting and laughing with the foreign guests. She didn’t have any feelings for the drama here. She didn’t even bother to take a look.
Looking at Lin Wanli, although she was watching the show, she was really just watching the show.
The entire spotlight was obviously on the three generations, but at this moment, there was a commotion at the door. In a few seconds, Huo Jiuxiao appeared at the entrance of the hall.
All the guests widened their eyes, fear and doubt in their eyes.
This was because the outside world had previously heard that the Lin family had sent Huo Jiuxiao an invitation. However, everyone knew that Huo Jiuxiao did not like to attend such events. The last time he attended the Old Madam’s birthday banquet, he was representing his uncle who was sacrificed to the heavens. Moreover, he had the intention of settling scores.
But he showed up again tonight.
It was rumored that he had a good relationship with Lin Wanli and that they were business partners. Now, it seemed that what the outside world said was true.
Moreover, it had to be said that although this Yama had a murderous aura, in terms of looks and temperament, there was probably no man present who could match him. His every move revealed the decisiveness of a top-notch ruler.
He shoved his right hand into his pocket and swept his gaze across the crowd. Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he walked towards Lin Wanli.
They didn’t know if it was their imagination, but they felt that Huo Jiuxiao’s aura was familiar. It was that faint fragrance that left a deep impression on them, but they couldn’t tell where it came from.
Finally, Huo Jiuxiao walked up to Lin Wanli and looked at her. He asked, “Am I a qualified business partner?”
This person was doing this on purpose.
They had clearly agreed to pretend that they weren’t very familiar with each other, but now, they had attracted the attention of everyone.
[Huo Jiuxiao, there’s a limit to your jokes.]
“Of course, Master Xiao never disappoints.” Lin Wanli said with a fake smile.
“It’s too noisy at the side. Do you have the heart to let me have a headache when I go home?” Huo Jiuxiao whispered to Lin Wanli.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised again because no woman had ever approached Huo Jiuxiao, let alone Huo Jiuxiao taking the initiative. It was obvious that he really valued Lin Wanli’s ability.
Although Lin Wanli knew that Master Xiao was pretending to be pitiful, she felt sorry for him and thought to herself.
[Then stand by my side obediently.]
At this moment, the guests’ attention was all on Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli. As a result, the guests did not hear a single word of what the three generations of the Lin family were saying and performing or what Ye Weiyin had said. No one cared.
Moreover, when Huo Jiuxiao got close to Lin Wanli, the two of them seemed to have their own boundary and aura, and they were at odds with everyone else. The people around them were afraid of offending Huo Jiuxiao, so they retreated far away. This made the two of them seem even more intimate.
“Let’s all raise our glasses and celebrate. We must celebrate Chairman Lin finding her family.”
At this moment, everyone’s ears regained their hearing.
A large number of waiters also began to serve wine to the guests.
Lin Wanli deliberately took a look at the waiter who brought Ye Zhenzhen the wine. It was indeed the tall and thin woman who was in the changing room.
The glass of wine in Ye Zhenzhen’s hand was naturally…
“Congratulations, Chairman Lin! Congratulations to the two daughters of the Lin family.”
Everyone raised their glasses and gave the Old Madam enough face. After drinking the red wine, the Old Madam waved at Lin Wanli and Lin Xueyi. She said, “The two of you, come here too.”
The Lin family’s mother and daughter looked at each other and walked toward the Old Madam. The Old Madam grabbed their hands and then the Ye family’s mother and daughter’s hands. Then, she placed their hands together. She said, “You’re sisters from now on. You should forgive all the grudges in the past. In the future, you will support each other and improve together.”
“Xueyi, Wanli, from now on, I will definitely play the role of an elder sister and aunt. I will never hurt you again. Please believe me.” Ye Weiyin said sincerely.
Then, she looked at the Lin family’s mother and daughter. Their bodies were stiff and their faces were expressionless. It was as if their personalities had swapped with the Ye family’s mother and daughter. They had suddenly become very bad at handling things perfunctorily.
“Me too. Me too. I will reflect on my mistakes in the future,” Ye Zhenzhen said, pretending to be wronged.
However…
To everyone’s surprise, Lin Xueyi withdrew her hand from the group and said, “I don’t think it’s necessary, right? I’m already a piece of trash that has been expelled from the Lin family. It’s better for everyone to draw a clear line. I didn’t come here to reunite, but to protect Wanli. As for the rest, don’t force yourself. I’m fine now.”
In other words, she did not want to get involved in the Lin family’s muddy water.
The faces of the Ye family’s mother and daughter immediately stiffened. They were so embarrassed that they did not know how to react. There was anger in the Old Madam’s eyes, but she could not flare up easily. “In that case, you may leave.”
“Thank you.” Lin Xueyi walked away in a carefree manner.
The guests were thrilled, but they couldn’t say it out loud. They could only watch the show. In the past, they thought that Lin Xueyi was a super love-struck person, but now, she was really graceful and elegant, living her life to the fullest.
Being able to work at Yue Group already showed her attitude.. Moreover, her words and actions were always consistent, which was very cool!
